Declension
This table shows the spoken declension with IPA symbols, which falls nicely into risti -class.
Written declension is more complicated due to the difficulty of combining "college" with risti-type endings. Therefore, it might be advisable to avoid inflecting this word in writing by using synonyms, when available. If one has to, one option is to write as if the pronunciation were finnicized to /?ko?l?e?ge?/, in which case the word would fall into nalle-category with the exception that collegeiden seems to be more commonly used as genitive plural than collegejen and collegein is not used as genitive plural:
Synonyms
- (sweatshirt): collegepusero
